Dynamics Systems, Measurement, and Control Laboratory

Feedback control systems play a vital role in the mission success of aerospace vehicles and their role is expected to increase in the future. Indeed, for all (modern) jet fighters, launch vehicles, and satellites, the consequence of a failure in the feedback control systems is that the vehicles will either “fall out of the sky” or will be lost. Feedback control systems are as important as structures and propulsion systems in present and future aerospace vehicles.
